Bullring casting call: ushertainers and musical talent wanted

The Bullring, Las Vegas Motor Speedway's NASCAR-sanctioned 3/8-mile asphalt oval, is issuing a casting call for ushertainers and musical talent for its Saturday-night events during the 2010 season.

The Bullring is looking for performers who can think outside the box, aren't afraid to perform in front of a packed house and are able to create characters that will keep fans laughing in the aisles. The winner will receive a paid position as a season-long Bullring Ushertainer (and you also will be issued your very own autograph card).

To enter, upload a video of your character to YouTube and e-mail the link to . Be sure you are in character the entire time and remember: the Bullring is a family facility. Please include your name, telephone number and a brief bio. The entry deadline is May 7.

Selected finalists will be invited to the Bullring on Saturday, May 22, for the final judging.

The Bullring also is seeking local bands to perform before the races or during special events.
